LE Inpou by Neo to replace Whiterun guard uniform.

[AndyPandyW]

I have a pretty heavily modded Tropical Skyrim install and I would love to use "Inpou by Neo" in the game somewhere as it fits in perfectly and looks amazing. Unfortunately, the mod by Neo places the armor in a really easy to access chest and it's rather powerful and thus a bit of a cheat item. I got thinking and I would rather not be using this armor myself but see it on the guards in Whiterun. Can anyone tell me how to create a file path in the data folder where I can put the meshes and textures from Inpou by Neo in order to have these meshes and textures simply replace the ones of the Whiterun Guard uniform? Or would someone be able to do this for me?

 

For example, I have found a couple of mods that replace the Whiterun Guard shield texture, I'm assuming if I were to grab any other shield mesh and texture and replace the ones in the original retexture with the ones of my choice they would show up on the shield in game. There is however, no mod that I can find that changes the mesh/texture of the whiterun guard uniform so I can't do this, hence, needed someone to tell me what file paths/folders etc... to create in the data folder and what files from "Inpou by Neo" to put in which places to get it to do this.

 

I would want to have all male and female guards use this armor (as the mod comes with both male and female versions) so I am guessing there is a male and female version of the vanilla uniform I can replace with each.

This is a great idea I would do the same thing!!

maybe even a more general mod or interface, so you could select the type of armor each Cities guards wear.

 

Markarth might wear dwarven...

Hey Andy - so I just downloaded the creation kit and started playing with this idea. And I think it can be done.

I don't yet know how to upload or export an ESP file for you - BUT if you want to do it on your own machine:

 

1. open creation kit and then select the guard you want to change - example GuardWhiterunxxx

2. go to "inventory" tab and remove the default gear.

3. in inventory add the Neo Armor you want.

4. click okay. and then save the .esp.

 

5. load the esp with NMM or Wyre bash or what ever.

 

And that should be it!!
